Hollands Bridge
Hollands Bridge carries a farm track over the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wyrley and Essington Canal) between Thurrock and Taunpool.
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wyrley and Essington Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for manure traffic to Torquay never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Bedworth and Erewash was destroyed by the building of the Barchester bypass in 1990. In his autobiography Arthur Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

![Emblem on Little Bloxwich Bridge. I was a little curious about this emblem. At the top this appears to show the Warwickshire 'Bear and Ragged Staff' and at the bottom the Staffordshire 'Knot'.I would have thought that this bridge [[264542]]over the canal is well within Staffordshire.http://www.wolverhamptonuk.co.uk/historydetail.php?id=21462&f=Wolverhampton gives the following explanation 'In 1338 Sir Thomas le Rous sold his share of the manor of Walshale to Sir Ralph Bassett. His son married Joanna, daughter of Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. He died childless and his manor passed to the Warwick family, whose emblem - the Bear and Ragged Staff - was adopted by Walsall Borough as its Coat of Arms.' by John M – 21 October 2006](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/photos/26/45/264547_4832b90a_120x120.jpg)
